Cirque du Soleil's first-ever holiday production, an 85-minute acrobatic show based on the classic poem 'A Visit from St. Nicholas', suitable for the whole family.
Cirque du Soleil brings 'Twas The Night Before... to the Fox Theatre from December 2 through December 13, 2026. It's the company's first-ever holiday production, an 85-minute show without intermission built around Clement Clarke Moore's classic poem A Visit from St. Nicholas.
The story follows Isabella and her father, who have read the poem together for years, though he feels she's outgrown the tradition this time around. A snowstorm sends them on a fantastical journey through a winter wonderland filled with whimsical characters, acrobats, children and reindeer. The staging leans on acrobatics, including a hoop-diving number by Santa's reindeer, and a soundtrack of holiday classics reimagined by Cirque du Soleil. They describe it as a joyful story about the virtues of generosity and friendship, aimed at the whole family.
